David,

I haven't looked (and I don't have time for at least a week or two),
but...  How hard do you think it would be to extend the
gnc_add_*_extension() functions to take a base menu instead of
assuming the top-level menu?

Note that this makes it slightly harder for windows like the register,
becuase you'd have to make sure you remembered the "added" menu items
so you could add them to each window.

For extra credit:  Allow a flag (for the register window) that let's
you add menu items based on the account type...

Christian, I understand your urgency, however I think we should do
this "right", even if it takes longer to do so...
